New server details

UKNR is now running on new server software, Icecast. This gives us some extra
features (such as the sustainer stream and more reliable HTML5 player) and
should crash less than the old software (Shoutcast).

Icecast still supports Shoutcast DJ connections so in most cases you should be
able to continue without changing your old settings (uknr.org, port 8000).

The main exception is that the ‘Shoutcast 2’ protocol is no longer supported.
If your DJ app settings are set to connect using Shoutcast 2, please change
to ‘Shoutcast 1’ or ‘Icecast’.

If you use the Icecast protocol then the mount point you want is just ‘/’
and the username doesn't matter.

Some DJ apps try to scrape listener numbers out of server-specific statistics
pages. If the app is looking for a Shoutcast page this will no longer work. If
you care about seeing listener numbers in your app you may need to reconfigure it:

SAM Broadcaster: add an ‘Icecast2 statistic relay’ pointing at host uknr.org
port 80. No password or SID required. (Note don't use port 8000; the stats
relay there only works with an admin password so you'll get an authentication error.)

Further notes:

The server address http://uknr.org:8000/ will now always return a radio
stream, rather than sometimes giving a server status page. If you want the
status page, you can find that at /status.xsl.
